" The Rex Theater for Colored People"

What is the setting of the photgraph?

the setting of the photograph is on the street during the daytime. The photo seems to be taken in an urban area.

Describe what you see in the photograph. include specific details.

There are no people in the picture. It seems to be very barren and lifeless. One thing that catches my eye first is that the sign says that it is the rex theatre for colored people. I saw that this building was specifically for African Americans.

What structures are in the photograph?

The building in this photograph is a theatre. It is not in the best condition, but its not completely horrible. It looks very small for a theatre and its placed right in between two existing structures

What is the tone of the photograph?

The tone of this photograph is neutral. There is no definite way to determine whether or not the feeling is happy or depressing. One thing that does stand out is that by the theatre being only for African Americans, it show how serious segregatin was.

Write a paragraph explaining your response to this photograph. Use specifics from the your responses to the other questions to support your answer.

My response to this photograph is that segregation is a very serious issue and this picture just demonstrates how people acted on their beliefs. It went on for far too long . It is sad that the government had not stopped the problem quicker because people should have had to endure the obstacles they faced.

Write two questions that you might ask the photographer or the subjects of the picture if you had the opportunity to learn more about the photogrpah and/or its subjects

The first question I would ask the photographer is what had they felt as they were taking the photgraph. The second question I would ask is how had they been affected by the Great depression and segregation.
